Amides and sulphonamides of benzylamines having heterocyclic substituents

An amide or sulphonamide of a benzylamine having a heterocyclic substituent of the formula I, ##STR40## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, including the double bond joining them, together form a pyridyl ring,

• wherein all the ring systems mentioned under R.sup.1 /R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 /R.sup.4 are substituted by 0-2 members in an identical or different manner selected independently from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine bromine, trifluoromethyl, carboxyl, hydroxyl or straight-chain or branched alkoxy or alkoxycarbonyl having in each case up to 4 carbon atoms or by straight-chain or branched alkyl having up to 4 carbon atoms, which in its turn can be substituted by hydroxyl or by straight-chain or branched alkoxy having up to 3 carbon atoms,
• R.sup.5 represents hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, trifluoromethyl, carboxyl or straight-chain or branched alkyl, alkoxy or alkoxycarbonyl having in each case up to 4 carbon atoms,
• D represents hydrogen, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl or cyclooctyl, or represents straight-chain or branched alkyl having up to 7 carbon atoms,
